Two subband samples (one per channel) are transmitted
per sample period with output TO. The transmission
pattern of the samples S [sb, ch] (sb: subband index; ch:
channel) is: S [0, L], S [0, R], S [1, L], S [1, R],..., S [31, R],
S [0, L], S [0, R], etc. Word select signal WS indicates the
channel of each sample. (WS is also used for the
baseband audio output interfacing).
The subband sample bit clock SCK has a frequency of 64
times the sample frequency. The subband samples are
transmitted in 24 bit two's complement PCM form, MSB
first. Thus, of the available 32 TO bits per sample per
channel, only 24 are used. The MSB of a sample follows
one SCK period after each transition in WS. The
8 unused bits between individual samples in TO are zero.
(SCK is used for the baseband audio output interface as
well.) The optionally processed subband data signal is fed
back as input TI in a similar format as TO, but now the
8 unused bits between individual samples are undefined;
they are neglected by the SAA2500.
